[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were in a coma for a long time.  A dark void of unconsciousness brought on by that crack cocaine shit in the 80’s and 90’s.  Countless families, whole neighborhoods, entire communities all crumbled overnight and deteriorated for decades as zombies seiged the city streets littered with pipes and bullets.  That shit was pumped in from the outside.  High rollers, big ballers, “wealthy investors”, and crooked politicians both foreign and domestic all got rich.  They steadily lined their pockets with the compensatory profits while watching an entire people literally kill themselves.
Over time, people who’ve been in a coma may start to gradually regain consciousness and become more aware.
It’s not an overnight process.[/quote]

Just like a lot of white communities are in a coma due to the opioid crisis?[/quote]
Different response altogether.  Less of a crackdown mentality.  Less looking at the addicts as criminals and more seeing them as victims.  Certainly helps when there’s less reliance on the violent underworld to handle distribution.  No, in this case the providers are predominantly professionals just getting a little extra money on the side falsifying prescriptions and selling stuff out the back door of pharmacies.  Less street game.  Less police presence.  Less repercussions from the revolving door of judicial interference that can discombobulate a person’s life even more so than the narcotic.  Little Jamie was caught using yesterday and got sent to rehab and where she can get hope for a new life.  20 years ago Little Jimmy was caught using and he got thrown in jail and when he got out he had a record that followed him everywhere.  
Not the same.
But then again the more things change the more they stay the same.
Still a rack of little Jimmy’s behind bars.
Response to dark skin damn sure ain’t changed. [/quote]
